Cafe Dulce (USC Village)

Great coffee and pastry shop. If this store is anything like the other Cafe Dulce’s, then I understand why it’s such a popular brand. The coffee is great, and the pastries, especially the donuts, are unique and delicious. We went late at night and they still had most of their inventory and were happy to serve us. They made me a flat white upon request as well, something not on their menu. I only wish I had more time to try their other items. Great spot in USC Village! Not too expensive either.

It’s one of the busiest cafe in the USC village! Usually during semesters there’s always long line to enter but often takes 20-25min to get your order ready. The sandwiches are really worth the wait and come with fresh salad!! There are also lots of interesting options for desserts including variety of tarts, pastries and cakes! Highly recommended to have lunch/brunch.

My family and I came here on the weekend. I love the courtyard setting of the whole campus location. Tasty sausage breakfast burrito. Love the salsa. The donuts were definitely not your typical donuts. They don’t have the regular sprinkles donuts or sugar glazed donuts. Bacon donuts were good. Oreo donuts were tasty. Cold brew coffee was decent. Pricing: $$-$$$

Had the ice herbal tea and tiramisu. It was the best tiramisu I have ever eaten. Never like herbal teas but this one is good though. Tried the ice capuccino. It's good but I prefer sugar added. Think of Dulce when you are in LA. Must visit and have tea time here.

while the food was enjoyable, the service and ambiance was a disaster. My simple request for oat milk instead of regular milk was overlooked, and they play loud, poorly chosen music all the time that even making it hard to even speak with the staff, who came across as unpolite. Overall, it was a letdown.

Dulce is great! Consistent throughout the years, everything is spot on. Coffee , pastry and breakfast items are all delicious! Chocolate tart, the buns, strawberry doughnut, spicy chicken sandwich.. recommend all these.service is speedy

Update: The burgers at Dulce match up to any boojie burger joint in LA! You don't have to pay $20 bucks for a great burger. Only around $10 bucks!!! Interestingly enough, the coffee needs work here. Other than that everything else is phenomenal. Breakfast burritos are on point. Add sausage and avocados! Great stuff. Matcha green tea rocks both premium and latte. Again, their coffee is too sour and if they worked on their coffee they would be perfect! Don't forget to try their pastries!

This place has by far the longest line of any business in USC Village and there's a good reason for it. The drinks taste great and so does the food. I can't remember the last time I went to a cafe that left this positive of an impression. If you happen to be in the area I highly recommend visiting here and getting one of the baked treats and any drink of your choice. Enjoy.
